I had finally laid out my plan, to complete it I was going to have to get pretty close to vetinary. If he wakes up, I'm screwed and I'm going to be in a tonne of trouble. I guess I'm going to have to avoid the latter.

I slowly tiptoed into the living room to check on vetinary. I saw him on the couch in a comfortable position. I walked slowly up to him and lightly brushed his hair away from his face. So peaceful looking. No furrow on his brow, just calmness. I cupped his face in my hands and went into kissing him but stopped when his hands shot up to grab my wrist.

My eyes shot up to see his tired ones as he peered at me.

"What are you doing?" He grumbled.

"Nothing" I blushed red.

"Yeah, I totally believe that"

I took my wrist back and nervously played with my fingers.

"What are you wearing?" He questioned.

I didn't put on my watch, gloves or shoes cause I know he'd be curious as to why. "Comfortable clothing" I shrugged

"Looks like you want to go out for a run" he narrowed his eyes at me "do you?"

"No. I just don't feel like wearing pyjamas, while trying to run away from life-threatening people. It isn't the brightest idea" I glared back

"so you don't trust me to keep you safe?" His eyes softened

"I do trust you but i..... it's just extra precautions" I smiled slightly

"Okay" he breathed closing his eyes

"Oh yeah! I came in here to ask if you wanted a hot drink? I'm going to boil up the kettle and grab some snacks, then head up to bed" I retorted.

"No thank,s," he said drifting slowly to sleep

"Okay. Good night vetinary" I stood up to walk to the door.

"Night Isabella" he smiled as he said my name. Too bad he didn't want anything to happen between us.

As I walked towards the door I spotted his minigun on the cabinet. I turned my head to check if he was asleep. The outcome was his light snoring, I smiled and grabbed the gun.

I left the room then lightly closed the door and approached the kitchen. I switched on the kettle and waited till it started boiling loudly. It began getting louder so I started raiding the cupboards.

After grabbing an assortment of snacks, I skillfully swooped up the stairs quietly.

All I could gather to fit in my bag was 4 sandwiches, 6 packets of crisp, a block of cheese and some crackers. I made sure to have a bottle filled to the rim with water.

I am ready to leave, finally.

To my advantage,e I had a balcony, and I could easily get onto the roof. Slowly raising myself onto the stable platform I lowered a rope at the back of the building. Lowering myself down I was surrounded in pitch black uncomfortable darkness.

To make sure I secured an escape I waited and watched the house for a few minutes. Everything is fine. I can leave now. Just as I turned around, there was a loud booming noise from a few quad bikes zooming down a dirt track. Only one man came towards the house while the others held back up the hill.

An unknown man grumpily stalked towards the door and started kicking the door commanding "Agent V! Open up!"

The door opened and there stood Vetinary yawning, his perfectly toned abs and biceps on show. He stretched and sai,d "what do you want?"

"Just coming to check up on you" the guy stated "where's the girl? She dead yet?" The man laughed

What? They want me dead? Wouldn't that mean that they're the ones who I'm supposed to be avoiding?. Why does he know vetinary, why does vetinary know him? What the hell is happening?

"Not yet" Vetinary chuckled "She's upstairs, was asleep, probably not now because of your noisy entrance"

What is he saying, yet? So I'm going to die? Is he going to be the one who kills me?

I tried to move but I was paralysed in fear.

The man chuckled. Vetinary opened the door wider. The second day here, I made sure to open windows to let in a breeze so the dust didn't suffocate me... I never shut those windows.

As the two boomed up the stairs, I came to my senses and began sprinting.

Behind me I heard someone heavily knocking on the door, followed by vetinary shouting "answer us! Open up! Isabella!" He was worried, panicking and enraged.

I could care less. My heart was pounding in my chest.

Vetinary
Charlton

I smashed down the door to see the room empty, her empty suitcase on the bed.

I ran to the closet and checked if she was hiding there. John; the guy who woke me up from my slumber, called me from the bathroom.

"Her stuff is in the bathtub, she's not in there,e," he said. I looked over to the door to lead out to her balcony.

She wouldn't. Would she?

I got onto the roof and looked around searching for a sign of a rope. No sign of drags. Shit! Would she jump? She's a psycho! Wait... What's that?

Drag trails. I breathe out relieved.

I lowered myself down onto the balcony and saw John in the corridor waiting for me.

"I'll go get my gun and then we can leave to go look for her" I grunted as undescended the stairs and into the living room.

My hands guided over the dusty cabinet. It was here. My gun and my ammo were here. Maybe I moved it? No! It was definitely here. Why would she take it? Fuck!

"She took my gun!" I shouted up to John.

"I've got a spare don't worry about me,t," he said coming over to me and giving me his extra. Lucky enough I had my knives still. She probably would've taken those too.

We ran out of the house and one of John's colleagues stood there and offered me his quad bike.

"Thank,s man" If-bumped him and switched on the engine.

Let's go get my girl.
